The police prosecution, Martins Olowofeso, said the defendant committed the offence repeatedly between March 2021 and August 2025 at the family’s residence in the Igoba area of Ondo state.
As reported by Vanguard, Olowofeso said that the offences contravene the Ondo State Violence Against Persons Prohibition Law, 2021.
The charge sheet partially reads:
“That you, Samson Ajayi, ‘m’ sometimes between July 2021 and August 2025, at Igoba, Akure in the Akure Magisterial district did have carnal knowledge of your biological daughter (name withheld) ‘F’17 years.” The offences, according to the charge, contravene Sections 3 (a, b, and c) 25 of the Ondo State Violence against Persons Prohibition Laws of Ondo State 2021."
Olowofeso asked the court to remand Ajayi in prison pending advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Pastor Ajayi, who confessed to the crime, said:
“I didn’t know what came over me. I think it’s a generational curse because my father also did it to my sister, his own biological daughter. It was just an act to disgrace me.”
Magistrate Taiwo Lebi declined Ajayi’s lawyer’s asking the court for a settlement.

Ajayi’s lawyer, Kehinde Osadugba, said the victim’s mother had forgiven the defendant due to his role as the family’s breadwinner.
However, Magistrate Lebi said that Ajayi’s confession has provided probable cause to remand him to the correctional facility.
Magistrate Lebi ordered the prosecutor to duplicate the case file and send it to the DPP for further advice.
He therefore adjourned the case to November 20, 2025, for review.
